It was a new record as Thompson ripped the Kings apart in the third quarter nailing all 13 of his shots! It included nine 3-pointers and two free-throws as one half of the Spash Brothers scored 37 of the 41 points for the Warriors in the quarter as they raced away to a 126-101 win.
Thompson would end the night with a career-high 52 points.
